29 Chapter 29 (2nd Revision)
The day of the final trial of the case has come in a blink of an eye, Qing'e got up early to freshen up, Ruru was still in the quilt, she pulled it up, put on her clothes and sent it to Lao Xiucai's house.
Ru Ru's sleepy eyes were placed on the collapse, and she opened her eyes dimly and called Qing'e, Qing'e leaned over and brushed the fine fetal hair on her forehead, "Sleep, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back before lunch." β
Ruru stretched out her hand to grab her, and woke up from a drowsiness, "Qing'e is going to the yamen again?" β
The little girl was most afraid that she would go to the yamen, and there was no time when Qing'e came back from the yamen with a smiling face.
Qing'e patted her little hand and told her to let go, "Go one last time, you don't need to go again in the future, don't worry, this time it's different, I'm happy this time, I'll go if you stop me." β
"Ruru will go too."
Qing'e was sincerely happy and scratched her little nose, "If you don't go, you wait for me to come back and bring you candy to eat." β
It's not good to talk too much, God always loves to stumble on her, and I can't see her complacent.
When she came to the county office, Qing'e was taken to the hall, once she was born and once cooked, and the third time she was happy in suffering, like returning to her mother's house who treated her harshly.
Only this time she was taken through the public court by the officials, and she actually came to the government hall where the county order is usually in charge. She thought it was Feng Juncheng's arrangement, but when she entered the house, she saw that it was not him sitting at the top, but Ying Tianfu Yin, Liu Ruomei's uncle.
Liu Ruomei's uncle is naturally the same as her, and his name is Xu Tong. The round face is wearing a black veil, and the facial features are like sesame seeds on a cake, cramped and with a lot of loose blanks.
Qing'e stood up with her hands down, she didn't dare to make a mistake, let alone count the sesame seeds on his face, she only looked around with her eyes, and saw that the master and the county were sitting at the bottom of the house, but Feng Juncheng was not seen, he supervised the case, and it was supposed to be a jury, how could he suddenly be absent today?
Guo Yong cleared his throat, "Li Qing'e, what are you looking at?" Haven't seen Lord Xu yet? β
"Li Qing'e, a folk woman, has seen Lord Xu." Qing'e squeezed out a pear vortex from Shanruliu, and asked with a smile: "My lord, why does this place look like a small court, why don't you wait for everyone to arrive for a retrial?" β
Xu Tong took a look at Qing'e, this woman had a goose egg face and pointed chin, and she didn't have anything on her face, and it was a burden to do it. She looked left and right, the beads on the earrings swayed lightly on her cheeks, she didn't have to do anything, she stood there with full charm and gorgeous appearance, no wonder she wanted to get into this lawsuit.
He sat upright and said: "I have already seen your case, Xu Guangde is convicted, and he will be sentenced to 10 canes in the hall later, and lease the land of the tea house according to the original documents." However, he insisted that he was not instructed and had no evidence to support it, so he was the only one to be punished for the oppression of tenant farmers. β
Qing'e frowned slightly, raised her eyes and was about to accuse, but seeing that Lord Xu's eyes were cold, looking like a dummy, she realized it later, and seemed to understand what kind of array was placed for her in this room, and she didn't argue for a while.
Xu Tong said again: "Since this case has nothing to do with Qin Xiaolin, then there is only the emotional entanglement you mentioned between you and him, and another fraud case in which he testified that you defrauded you of money." β
Qing'e shook her head and didn't admit it, "... It was he who deceived me, and how did I deceive him? Master Feng said that I have injuries on my body as evidence......"
Master Xu said without changing his face: "Li Qing'e, the governor is just here to supervise the trial of this case, and now I am your chief judge." There's a question I can ask you before you ascend, and you have to answer it truthfully. β
What does it mean that "he can ask her before he ascends"? It seems to be for her sake.
Qing'e nodded inexplicably.
Xu Tong asked: "You told Guo County Ling that you are from Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture, but all the Li ancestral halls in Shanyang County say that there is no such person as you, what is the reason for this?" β
Qing'e didn't answer, didn't nod, just half-opened her mouth, staring at the men above who were different in height, short, fat and thin, but they were all judging her.
Guo Yong raised his tone, "Li Qing'e, answer quickly." β
Qing'e heard herself say: "Because, I'm not from Shanyang County." β
Xu Tongdao: "Yes, you are not from Shanyang County, but from Qinghe County, born as a farmer, your parents died early and lived with your uncle and aunt, and then you were sold into the opera troupe, and then no one in Qinghe County has seen you again, am I right?" β
"Yes..."
"After you left Qinghe County, what did you rely on to make a living?"
Qing'e's heart was beating deafeningly, and she wanted to escape, but she could only shake her head and not answer.
Xu Tongdao: "I still remember that four or five years ago, there were two cases in Shangyuan County, Yingtianfu, similar to what Qin Xiaolin said, it was also a beauty who cheated money, but it has been too long, and there is almost no record in the yamen, but the deceived are all local prestigious families, if they can identify your portrait, they will be able to find out, if it weren't for you, it would be a crime-"
"I plead guilty."
Qing'e's swollen head interrupted Xu Tong, she pleaded guilty, and she had to admit her guilt.
At that time, she and Zhao Qi were active in the counties around Yingtianfu, and many small yamen had a criminal record of him. It was easy for the people of Ying Tianfu to investigate her after exposing her household registration fraud, presumably Xu Tong had already checked her before he came to Qiantang, and now he was just threatening her to confess.
Qing'e Mu Ne patrolled the house, looking for Qin Xiaolin, who was supposed to be with her.
"I confessed, where is Qin Xiaolin? Didn't he say he wanted to be private? I promised to keep it private, my lord, I promised to keep this case private, please close the case, and there is no need to try it again. β
Xu Tong's solemn face finally smiled, leaned back slightly, and motioned for Guo Yong to answer her question.
Guo Yong hurriedly said: "The big official said that if you agree to be private, you only need to bring the sixty taels of silver that have not yet been paid off to the door within three days, and he can write off it with you and no longer pursue the responsibility of this case." β
"Sixty taels ......" Qing'e couldn't help but breathe rapidly, and her head "boomed" and lost her opinion, "What if I, if I can't take out this money?" β
Guo Yong replied in an orderly manner: "This is a private matter between you and the Qin officials, what you promised, private." Li Qing'e, do you still have questions? β
Qing'e's eyes were sluggish, "What about Lord Feng?" β
Guo Yong smiled and looked at the slowly burning more fragrant on the table, "It's only three minutes, and in a quarter of an hour, Lord Feng should come to supervise your case, but it seems that he has to run for nothing today." β
He said with a bit of intriguing humor, and several masters and county officials laughed flatteringly, only Qing'e couldn't laugh, she was dressed a little thinner today, and when she walked out, she was still a little chilly when she stood in the morning light, and her body was also damp, like being dragged into a slippery deep well covered with moss.
Qing'e hurriedly quickened his pace, and at this time, Feng Juncheng strode from outside the Yi Gate, he was probably afraid that the final trial would be late, and he was still a little gasping when he stood still, his hat wings trembled slightly, and his chest fell together.
He saw Qing'e grabbing her skirt and stepping over the threshold and was about to go out, so he hurriedly shouted to her, "Li! In another quarter of an hour, it will be elevated to the court for trial
Your case, where are you going? β
Qing'e did not stop, but left the county office quickly.
Feng Juncheng was about to chase her back, Guo Yong trotted out at the right time, greeted Feng Juncheng with a smile, intercepted the person, took him to the Zhengzheng Hall, and elaborated on the confession of the talented Qing'e with the master.
As soon as Qing'e walked out of the county office, the people waiting outside rushed up, and the officials maintained order and clarified the situation, "Li Qing'e pleaded guilty in advance and had a personal affair with the Qin family, and the county government will not hear the trial today." It's all scattered, scattered! β
The crowd said noisily: "She pleaded guilty? What the Qin family officials said is not false? β
"I just said that she is not a serious person when she looks at it, and I was really afraid that her case would be overturned a few days ago."
"Little. Woman! β
"This poisonous woman, deceive people out of money!"
Qing'e walked steadily among the rumors, listening to some of them say right and some wrong, tears were churning in her eyes, and she couldn't fall.
A handful of rotten leafy vegetables smashed on Qing'e's back, and when she turned around, she saw the old pig and dog who was arguing with her in the vegetable market that day, with dim old eyes, and finally caught her "confessing" the day.
If Qing'e hadn't been speechless, she would have scolded back, scolded back!
But now she only has her legs and feet under control, and she seems to want to leave this place.
"Stop! Gather in front of the county yamen to make trouble, whoever gives you the courage to disperse! Feng Juncheng chased him out of the county ya, and saw Qing'e staggering in the crowd, and the officials got his roar, and hurriedly evacuated the people, and they all blasted away.
"Why confess?" Feng Juncheng caught up with Qing'e and stood in front of her panting.
Qing'e slowly raised her head, her eyelids red. She has nothing to say, and she is sorry for the justice that Feng Juncheng has found for her these days, and she will kill herself if she commits many injustices, this is the retribution she deserves.
"Li Qing'e!"
Feng Juncheng saw her bypassing him and walking away, and chased after her, "Why do you confess?" Didn't you swear that you didn't cheat Qin Xiaolin? Why did you change your tune? I accepted your testimony, why did you change your story temporarily? β
The people who were making a fuss were stopped a few steps away by the officials, but there were also those who were not too big to do, hiding in the crowd and throwing stones at Qing'e, as soon as she stopped, something hit her.
She walked quickly, and really became a rat crossing the street, which provoked the onlookers to be more and more eager to punish, they all felt that she was a liar, a poisonous woman who sold her hue and defrauded money, and should have been punished with a cane, but because of the kindness of the Qin family, she was able to get rid of the crime, so on the way she walked out of the county office, everyone could jump on her and spurn her, and they could step on her.
Feng Juncheng was stunned by the scene in front of him, seeing that the situation was out of control, and there was a stingy person in the crowd who wanted to smash the egg, he knew that he couldn't do it, but he still blocked behind her.
The egg liquid mixed with the eggshell slipped from the crimson official uniform this time it worked no matter how much the official shouted it did a good thing to see the governor accidentally injured the governor not yet
Quickly fled. However, Feng Juncheng blocked this for her, and he would definitely be criticized later, who asked him to judge the case towards her, not to mention that there was no imagination behind it.
Qing'e was frightened by his actions, and hurriedly turned around to check, only to see Feng Juncheng's eyes staring at her.
"Li Qing'e, follow me to the county office, I have something to ask you."
Qing'e can't escape, who wants to go back to the county office? She struggled to run away, and Feng Juncheng stood in place, suddenly realizing that five years had passed
, and became one of the members of the "hunting" of her. ()

The tenant farmer on the hill often lived near his own tea plantation, so the family was far away, so he didn't know why he was so sneaky, and he just wanted to ask her a few words, but he deliberately walked the trail and came alone at the foot of the mountain.
Walking outside the small courtyard, it was already evening, and General Hua greeted him with his tail wagging his tail.
The room was lit with light, and the door was wide open, so that you could see the inside of the house at a glance.
Qing'e sat on the pestle in a daze, and when she saw him enter the door, she was startled, and looked at him with round eyes. Those two eyes wept like rouge, and there were no more tears at this time.
ββ¦ My lord, why are you here? β
Feng Juncheng looked back with her gaze, "But someone came to the door to ask you for trouble?" β
"Nope. Not yet. β
Feng Juncheng saw her mouth rubbing, thinking that she was going to say something, but who knew that she stood up and smiled, "I'm sorry, my lord, it was still private at the last moment, you chased up the mountain just to ask me about this, right?" β
Feng Juncheng only frowned and asked, "What about your daughter?" β
"Someone watched for me, I scared her like this, pick her up later."
Qing'e pushed away the miscellaneous things on the table, "My lord, please take a seat, if you have anything to ask, please ask, I will answer you." β
She brought the tea, lost her soul and did not forget the way of hospitality.
Feng Juncheng also sat down, put his hands on the table, and waited for her to sit down in front of her, then asked gently: "Li, do you have half a lie about Qin Xiaolin's testimony in court?" β
"What I said is true, and I can guarantee anything."
"Then why did you confess?"
"I'm guilty, even if it's not Qin Xiaolin, I've cheated many men out of their money, I'm a liar." At the end, she added, "But I'm not a prostitute. Woman. β
Feng Juncheng's cheeks tightened and he was silent.
Qing'e smiled, "To be honest, I deceived so many people, I just feel sorry for you." Master Feng, you are different from them, and I am ashamed of you. β
After she said that, she filled the tea bowl, brought it to him, and knelt down to ask for guilt, Feng Juncheng immediately reached out to pick it up, but accidentally shook off the tea and put it on Qing'e's neckline.
It was a bowl full of hot tea, Qing'e was so hot that she hurriedly pulled the clothes on her chest, Feng Juncheng was shocked, and quickly grabbed the rag on the table and gave it to her.
"Hey, this is really..." Qing'e didn't expect this, reached out and wiped it twice on her chest, got up in embarrassment, and blocked her hand in front of her.
Feng Juncheng cleared his throat and turned his face away, "It's hot?" β
Qing'e shook her head, "No..."
Feng Juncheng regrouped and said: "I didn't come up the mountain to hear you say this, you just need to tell me what the county government said to you today, and why did you change your words." β
Qing'e replied truthfully: "Lord Xu has investigated me clearly, I don't admit this crime, I'm afraid that there are other crimes waiting for me." I deserve it, and this case is about my belated retribution. β
Feng Juncheng's voice was cold: "You deserve it." β
Qing'e's expression remained unchanged, she paused on her hand, and smiled indifferently to wipe the water stains.
Feng Juncheng continued: "You deserve it, but you shouldn't agree to it. He hated her nonchalant smile the most

Dare not to ask the government to intervene. β
Qing'e looked at him, although she was smiling, there were faint red marks in her eyes, it seemed that he didn't know that Xu Tong came to Qiantang to protect Qin Xiaolin.
Feng Juncheng frowned and stared at her, seeing her looking at herself with tears and smiling, dodging her eyes, and because she was too close, her eyes fell involuntarily, and she saw a secret flush under her white neck, which was very eye-catching. also said that it was not hot, but it was clearly red.
Qing'e looked down with his gaze, everyone was stunned, their eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly returned to this courtyard from the "public court".
Feng Juncheng let go of her and turned sideways to face the table, "... What are you going to do? β
Qing'e didn't answer, she looked at him, and her thoughts suddenly drifted a little far. She wondered, why did he chase him up the mountain? Why did you block her on the street?
"Li Qing'e, let me ask you what you are going to do."
Qing'e came back to her senses, but she still didn't answer immediately, she thoughtfully walked slowly outside the door, and after thinking, she went into the house and picked up a furoshiki from the bed, which contained the silver that she was going to give to Qin Xiaolin after she got home.
Feng Juncheng saw her enter the house and take out a baggage, so he had to ask what it was. Qing'e only pushed the tea bowl away, and in front of him, spread the burden on the table, and there were some scattered silver taels inside.
Feng Juncheng knew that Qin Xiaolin wanted her to pay off sixty taels within three days, and he was still a little stunned to see that she really took out so much silver, but he soon found that there were no sixty taels in the baggage, at most only ten taels, which should be her savings in the past few years.
"My lord, this money is back to you."
Qing'e temporarily changed her decision, tied the burden tightly, and pushed it to him, "There should be ten taels here, you go back and weigh it, and ask Brother Qi for the rest of the shortage, I only have so much." β
How did Feng Juncheng expect it, and asked, "Give it back to me?" β
Qing'e bowed, "Pay back the one hundred taels to you." She smiled, "As many as you want." β
Feng Juncheng didn't have time to delve into anything else, frowned and asked, "What about you?" β
"Me?" Qing'e blinked unnaturally, avoiding him and not looking, "Let's talk about it in three days." At most, if he can really support me for the rest of my life, I thank him. β
She deliberately spoke briskly, and Feng Juncheng really gritted her teeth, "Li Qing'e, how can you say it?" β
"Don't be angry with Lord Feng." Qing'e smiled at him, "What else do you want to ask me?" β
Feng Juncheng raised his voice, "I'm asking if you gave me this silver, what else did you take to Qin Xiaolin?" β
Qing'e replied easily, "My lord, will you understand?" What Qin Xiaolin wanted, was it silver? Seeing Feng Juncheng's sudden silence, Qing'e immediately burst into a smile, "Have you finished asking?" β
He just stared at her, and Yu Yu looked at her.
"I'll send the adults out, I can't see the road clearly when it's dark, wait for me to change into dry clothes and light a lantern."
Qing'e walked back into the house with heavy steps, and when she walked to the door, she stood incomparably for a moment, a little hesitant.
Should she be tempted? Test Feng Juncheng's little friendship with her, and test how much he dislikes her.
If she now smashed her carapace and stepped into the mud with her self-esteem, would she be able to make him forget the old hatred of five years ago for a while, and show compassion for her and rescue her.
she
() I don't know what kind of ridicule I will face if I beg. can think about Qin Xiaolin, she would rather ridicule her own person is him.
I owe him everything, and he can laugh if he wants. She had nothing, only a shabby tael, a pair of skins he liked, and a friendship that he didn't expect.
Qing'e came to the house, and the candle flame was lit, but she didn't know where the candle was placed by her, and her figure clearly hit the wall next to the door. Outsiders can also see her every move because of this.
Feng Juncheng looked at the shadow blankly, and before he knew whether he should be reminded, he saw that the long gown on her body slid off briskly, and the shadow of the straight tube was suddenly exposed, followed by another piece of clothing falling lightly.
The shadow of the girl was always facing away from him, and she slowly turned sideways, as if she had turned to look at herself.
The silhouette turned into a slippery water snake and coiled around Feng Juncheng's neck, strangling him to forget to breathe. Feng Juncheng secretly said in his heart that she was shameless, but her hands were clenched unconsciously, and the green tendons of forbearance appeared.
The candle flame flickered and was silent. A man looked at each other in the dark from an unpredictable distance.
Feng Juncheng suddenly smiled, it turned out that from the beginning of the bag of silver to the last piece of clothing falling to the ground, she was doing it on purpose. But now it was different, and he finally saw through her tricks.
Because of his ignorance, he was silent for a long time, Feng Juncheng watched the shadow slowly fall down, picking up the clothes one by one, but holding them in his hands, he didn't move.
He could only see the shadow shivering with cold, and he couldn't see the people inside holding their arms and crying, Qing'e couldn't help but shiver in order not to cry.
Fortunately, she had already cried, and now she wiped away her tears and put on clean clothes and came out, piling up a smiling face, and she looked like she was nothing.
"Let's go, change your clothes and be dry, I'll send the adults down the mountain."
